West Red Lake Gold Mines (CSE:RLG) has commenced a drill program at its West Red Lake Gold Project in Ontario.
The program will include eight to ten drill holes over a total of 3,000 metres within the NT Zone roughly 800 metres south of the Rowan Mine gold deposit, which sits within the West Red Lake Gold Project.
Drilling efforts will focus on expanding previously discovered gold zones, targeting regions that have already returned significant results, as well as additional areas 150 to 250 metres along strike to the north-east.
The results of the earlier program were released on February 15 this year, and include 12.14 grams per tonne of gold over 13.5 metres and 14.18 grams per tonne of gold over 7.8 metres.
The NT Zone is roughly 100 metres wide and extends from the boundary of the West Red Lake Project for a distance of two kilometres, before intersecting with the east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
The entire complex sits within the prolific Red Lake Gold District, which is host to some of the richest gold deposits in the world. To date, the district has produced a total of roughly 30 million ounces of gold.
John Kontak, President of West Red Lake Gold Mines, commented on the commencement of the new drill program.
“We are very pleased to be exploring the NT Zone to expand recently discovered gold zones to greater depth and to explore along strike in an effort to discover new gold zones,” he said.
West Red Lake Gold Mines (RLG) is holding steady at eight cents per share at 11:46am EDT.
